Strong's Lexicon Ohel: Tent Original Word: אֹהֶל Word Origin: Derived from the root verb אָהַל (ahal), meaning "to be clear" or "to shine," which metaphorically extends to the idea of a tent as a place of dwelling or covering. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4633 σκηνή (skēnē) – tent, tabernacle - G4636 σκῆνος (skēnos) – tent, dwelling Usage: The Hebrew word "Ohel" primarily refers to a tent, a portable dwelling used by the nomadic peoples of the ancient Near East. In the Bible, it is often used to describe the temporary dwellings of the patriarchs, the Tabernacle (the Tent of Meeting), and other temporary shelters. The term conveys the idea of transience and mobility, reflecting the lifestyle of the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings and their reliance on God's guidance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, tents were essential for a nomadic lifestyle, providing shelter and a place for family life. The patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, lived in tents as they moved through the land of Canaan. The Tabernacle, also referred to as the "Tent of Meeting," was a central place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. Tents symbolized both the impermanence of earthly life and the intimate presence of God with His people. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom the same as ohel Definition an Isr.
